Every year Baltimore restaurants showcase their businesses and food during “restaurant week,” but one business owner chose to forego the tradition this year and feed the homeless instead.

Savior: Michael Tabrizi

The kernel for the idea came when Michael Tabrizi, owner of the restaurant Tabrizi’s, had a brief encounter with a homeless person, to whom he gave a few dollars, his business card, and an invitation to come see him at his restaurant. “I drove on, thinking to myself, ‘what about all of the others?’ That’s when I decided to feed a thousand people,” Tabrizi told True Activist. Tabrizi, a long-time resident and business owner in Baltimore, watched in despair as the city suffered division during the riots following the death of Freddy Gray, who was fatally injured in police custody.

He owns an upscale restaurant at Baltimore Harbor.

“I thought I am going to skip regular ‘restaurant week’ and change it to ‘homeless restaurant week’ and do it. The idea was born and I pursued it," Tabrizi said.

“I live in the city and see homeless people all the time going home late night. I saw a sign a homeless man was holding at the traffic light [that read], ‘I am hungry, will work for food,’” owner Michael Tabrizi told ABC News. “I felt a warm urge to invite this person to my restaurant. I gave him my business card and told him to come and eat whenever he wants. Then I thought, ‘Why not invite all of them?’ So I did.”

So he did, partnering with Baltimore’s shelters to bring in as many homeless people as possible from July 20 to 25. The shelters will bus in people with volunteer drivers, and more than 200 people volunteered to work the week for free as greeters, buffet staff and servers.

“Our staff is volunteering, too, because they believe it's a great cause. Management also offered a flat fee of $100 a shift from noon until 7 p.m. as an average income,” Tabrizi said. “Many employees declined; they want to do it for free.”

Tabrizi’s, which serves as a popular wedding venue in the Inner Harbor and serves dinner to the public, will close completely that week to serve the 1,000 all-you-can-eat meals of chicken Cordon Bleu, salad, sparkling apple cider and ice cream in a waffle cone cup at 1, 3 and 5 p.m. daily.

“It feels right, it looks right and it tastes right! Seeing happy shiny eyes of a forgotten homeless person is priceless."

"Giving the homeless a feeling of hope and respect is everything they want,” Tabrizi said. “I receive hundreds of emails a days from people across the country and overseas commending this gesture.

“My reply to all these kind people is to do one good [deed] to a stranger every day, even a smile. It goes a long way.”

Tabrizi decided to close his restaurant to the public in order to feed the city’s homeless at no cost. To help defray his costs, he teamed up with local homeless shelters that donated food and time to the cause.

To reach the homeless people and invite them to dine, connections were made with the Maryland Center for Veterans Education & Training, the House of Ruth and other organizations.

“It uplifts your morale,” Rita Paneda, one of the homeless diners, said as she began crying. “Because people’s spirits are broken – they are hurting in their souls. And this really helps because you know that somebody cares.”

Tabrizi hopes to provide meals to anywhere from 900 to 1,000 homeless people, or about 150 diners each day.

Once word spread about his plan, people started volunteering to help and his staff refused to be paid for the week.

“It’s a good thing for the hearts of the people, no matter what religion or creed. It’s a good move,” Steve, another of the diners."

Tabrizi told Baltimore Magazine that it was more important to promote the welfare of the city and its residents rather than to promote the business. His “homeless restaurant week” began on July 20 and ends July 25.

Obama offers nothing more than pleasing platitudes and excuses about the homeless catastrophe in America when in fact it is his own government that is responsible

“I know it’s hard but I can’t imagine myself being homeless,”

“It is very hard. You don’t know where your next meal is coming from. You don’t have anybody to love. You don’t have no friends. You have no family. It is sad. It is really sad.”

We have already discussed in the first part of this analysis how the American geography dooms whoever controls the territory to being a global power, but there are a number of other outcomes that shape what that power will be like. The first and most critical is the impact of that geography on the American mindset.
